mascara
has anyone else ever noticed the utterly vile stench that escapes into the air every time you open a tube of mascara? what is that horrid smell? does anyone know?
i don't know why i never noticed it before, but this morning i dry heaved after experiencing the funk that is mascara. i'm not sure if it's just my particular mascara of choice that smells this way, but it honestly smelled like roadkill or rotten garbage, or maybe rotten roadkill garbage. either way, it stunk to high heaven. (side note - i've never really understood that phrase "stink to high heaven")
i think i shall research mascara and what could possibly go into it that could replicate a smell only comparable to a dead oppossum on the side of a country road in mid-july!

You might not want to know what mascara is made of. But as to the application of it, may your stomach be strong and your sense of smell weak. Good Luck.
hi -- i am a little embarrassed to post a comment seeing as that i am sitting here quietly at my desk (trying to put off running), stalking my way through ex-IWU blogs and i read your post about mascara and laughed because once-upon-a-time i heard that it was owl poop. yes. i have no idea why i have believed that for so long, but i have. anyway, maybe that helps.
by the way, once upon a blue moon we were at IWU at the same time.
thanks for the comment. i have to admit though that it doesn't help my mental state to know that i've been vigorously applying owl poo to my eyelashes for 15 years. maybe it's just me!
and when we were at iwu...did we know eachother?
